Workout Wednesday: Taking It Easy With Pure Endurance Coaching

Today’s workout from Pure Endurance isn’t a workout at all (or is it??)

Taking it easy is important too. We post a lot of workouts designed to get you faster, stronger, more agile, etc. but it’s time to focus on the often overlooked shakeout run/easy spin/relaxing flounder.🏊‍♂️
⬇️
The day after that next tough interval session, long run, or tempo, take a day to enjoy a more relaxed pace and short distance. This sort of light exercise will help reduce soreness and help muscle fibers heal, leaving you feeling fresher and less injury prone!
⬇️
Shakeout: Best done occasionally when sore or fatigued instead of a full rest day. Keep the pace conversational and easy, similar to your warmup pace before a big race.

• Running: no more than 4-5 miles of flat easy running.
• Cycling: keep it between 30 and 45 minutes of flat easy cycling.
• Swimming: switch up the strokes! If you’re primarily a freestyle swimmer, do some easy backstroke and kicking for 10 to 30 minutes depending on fitness levels.

Most importantly: keep it low stress, low intensity, and have fun!!
